I am on page 160 and can someone please tell me whether or not this book is worth reading? I really enjoyed Outlander and I had very high hopes for this book, however, chapter after tedious chapter of Claire and Jamie and their boring day to day existence in Paris is not very encouraging?

I found the politics and back stories in this book very interesting. I even enjoyed Claire's escapades at the hospital. The characters in this book become more important as the story progresses. Master Raymond comes to mind. The loss of Faith was so heart wrenching to me. Jonathon Randall and his brother Alex are there, so is Mary Hawkins. You do eventually find out why she is so important to the story line. It is all well worth "getting through" if you find the story line slow. I guess I am a sucker for punishment and enjoy when a book stirs my emotions, good, bad or sad. Everything in her books is important. If you try to skip this, you will regret it as you progress in the stories.(less)

Can't I just skip to book #3? I can't get in to #2!

The whole Paris section may seem a bit boring, but there are key points that happen there that the reader needs to know about. Also, they are not in Paris forever (although it may seem like it), and once they leave France, you won't be able to put it down!!(less)

Does this book ever end?...

Cynthia Young I can only read it when I go to bed. I'm interested enough to keep going, but it does put me to sleep (which is actually good).

I'm interested enough to keep going because I want to know what happens and I loved Outlander...but I am skipping text since its so tedious (like she needed an aggressive editor).(less)

Please I need your help? I adored Outlander. Dragonfly in Amber mentioned something about twenty years in the first few pages ( hope this is vague enough not to be a spoiler). Heartbroken! Closed the book immediately and have not picked it up since. Please advise if I should give it another chance?

Lisa Young Yes, I thought I had selected the wrong order of the books! You won't be disappointed.â€¦m´Ç°ù±ðYes, I thought I had selected the wrong order of the books! You won't be disappointed.(less)

I recently finished reading outlander and I really liked it, but after reading the plot for this book and the next, and realising that the story kind of goes on 20 years later, I'm on the fence about continuing with the series. So, can someone please tell me why did Claire wait 20 years to find out weather Jamie had died or not and to go back to him?

Colleen Nancy got it right, for the most part. Claire and Jamie are both convinced that he is going to his death at Culloden. It's only when she looks to findâ€¦m´Ç°ù±ðNancy got it right, for the most part. Claire and Jamie are both convinced that he is going to his death at Culloden. It's only when she looks to find out what happened to the rest of his men (from Lallybroch) that she starts to uncover that he may not have died there after all. (less)
